Problem #1 Walking Dead Crash Fix – Crash to Desktop upon Launch / Startup

If Walking Dead randomly crashes upon launching the game, ensure or try the following:

1. Update your nVidia / ATI graphics drivers. Check our Technical References page for proper and official download links.
2. Turn off SLI / Crossfire then start the game. See if it stabilizes Walking Dead performance.
3. Turn off your anti-virus software before launching the Walking Dead, but make sure you turn it back on after playing. Make sure Windows Defender is also disabled.
4. Try using only one GPU first (turn the other one off via your nVidia / ATI graphics control panel)
5. Try running the game in Windowed Mode (frequently works for low-end PCs)
6. Disable anti-aliasing and filtering, restart Walking Dead
7. Disable V-sync, restart Walking Dead
8. Disable background apps, and turn off your anti-virus software
9. In Windows 7 right-click the Walking Dead exe file, go to the ‘Compatibility Mode’ tab and check ‘Disable Desktop Composition’
10. Run through our list of general fixes, which will most likely resolve your Walking Dead crash problems

Problem #2 Walking Dead Crash Fix – Walking Dead Crashes right after pressing the ‘Play’ button

In Windows 7 go the Walking Dead installation folder, right-click the Walking Dead exe file, go to the ‘Compatibility Mode’ tab and check ‘Disable Desktop Composition.’ Then try running Walking Dead once more.

Problem #3 Walking Dead Launch Crash Fix – Walking Dead “Could not load image”

Go to the Walking Dead installation folder and look for the Walking Dead .exe file and run it directly from there, rather than using the shortcut or client link.

Problem #4 Walking Dead Crash Fix – Walking Dead Crashes on Intel HD Graphics Card

Simply do a clean uninstall and reinstall of your Intel Graphics Driver. Check our Technical References page for proper and official downloads.

Problem #5 Walking Dead Texture Fix – Bad Textures, Texture Breaks, Texture Glitch on gaming laptop

This is only for gaming laptops, but could work for some PCs. Note that this is an advanced solution, and only try this if other basic solutions such as disabling anti-aliasing and filtering failed for you. If your BIOS has the option, disable ‘Switchable Graphics’. This will remove your laptop PC’s ability to automatically switch between the onboard intel graphics card and the nVidia / ATI graphics chip, thus smoothening out gameplay.

Problem #6 Walking Dead Crash Fix – For Quad Core and Multi-Core PCs

If you’re on Quad Core, try this fix to address any crash issues:

1. Start the game
2. Alt+Tab Out of the game
3. Open Task Manager
4. Right click on Walking Dead.exe
5. Set Affinity
6. Select core 0 and 1 only. You need to run the game on two CPU’s basically, so to avoid the crash to desktop.
